“Minutes ago I finished your book, “3 MPH ” and absolutely loved it! I was thoroughly engaged from the first to last page. I greatly admire your determination, perseverance and most of all your confidence in pursuing such a journey.”

“Polly Letofsky brings it with humor, compassion, joy and a marvelous sense of wonder. As she learns, you learn. As she laughs, you laugh more. As a world traveler myself, I identify with her and her passions. Additionally, with her quest to bring cancer to its knees for women around the world, she illustrated a higher calling. She inspires others. She will most definitely inspire you. When she sweats, you sweat. Polly presents a sublime and wondrous picture of the world. Good, bad and ugly—you’re in for a heck of a walk around the planet at three miles per hour. I recommend her book with highest enthusiasm. At the end, the lessons from the road will touch your heart. You will be moved and changed. Thank you Polly for your journey around the world and sharing it so dynamically with your readers.”
